      Sorry guys, i have to put this is red. Please be extremely careful posting details of semi-setups/half installed modx.

      Am going to be pretty vague on details so no details is given away.

      Wbbuilder, may i suggest you immediately change your mysql password in order to prevent it being hacked and once working you remove the setup files.

      Admins, you might have worked this one out pretty easily but contact me for details. Might have found a security bug?!

      Happy new year smiley

          I’ve passed the details onto Ryan now. Posting a semi installed modx with the setup files intact, allows you to easily retrieve the SQL username and password for that database.

            I’ll take it a step further: never leave the setup folder in the default location unless you’re going to run and remove it immediately, and never post your access credentials on a public forum.
